Did you know? 22 storey Nigeria house in New York completed during the military era in 1992. It houses Nigeria's consular services and mission to the United Nations.

There are some who say Nigeria was better off during colonisation too. Some are even begging for the return of slavery! I just think they were sleeping or not yet born.

Things was easier during ibb regime.

This current crop of politicians we have are only there to serve themselves.

When Nigeria was still a country

Democracy haven’t achieved nothing

There was stealing but not this bad

It wasn't . It was the same old corrupt nation, same old underdeveloped nation, with a lot of security issues, and problems.

How old were you then?

We have things we can point to as achievements then

Especially security

Food security

Third mainland bridge

Zaria-kaduna expressway

Lagos Ibadan express way

And so many infrastructure

The hydro dams across the nation

The refineries was built during that era

N lots more

To maintain now is a big problem to the said democratically elected thieves

Democracy is not a miracle cure. It takes a while for you to be sufficiently educated by the process to elect suitable leaders to rule over you. You've only been at it since 1999.

Be patient instead of clamouring for military rule that was much worse and gave you no choice. At least with democracy we can be responsible for our choice of leaders and the state we put ourselves in instead of irresponsibly blaming others for what we do to ourselves.

Our democratic leaders always committed so much to some groups, individuals and foreign body while seeking for power, the demands from those people don't really allow them to work.

If a governorship aspirants can be spending billions of naira during campaign, how much more someone contesting for presidency would spend?

Exactly

That is the real point

Military leaders don’t patronize anyone or groups

They rule by decree

They also wants to warm there heart to the populace to stay in power

Exactly. Many of them don't know

The only difference was that the price of oil was very high and we weren't this populated. In fact, stealing has even reduced now.

Who would have believed that Babangida will be praised for toppling Buhari?
IBB saved us from Buhari in 1985 and actually stated he chased him out because of his parochial views!
Our sophisticated fear fear neighbors had to go to the land of the dead to resurrect the Egyptian mummy and made him a president yet again!
Now Nigeria is a killing field while the "sophisticated ones" are angling to make another disaster - a proven drug mullah - the president after Buhari!
Stockholm syndrome?

I think they do know. They must have after all heard about the billions recovered from Abacha and read how hard we fought for this democracy they now want to hand back.

I think they just do not have any faith in themselves to be democratic to chose their own leaders, and would rather be dictated to like kids.

When they grow into adults they will learn to be responsible. We just must meanwhile patiently educate them.

I won't be surprised if APC and Buhari start blaming the Nigerian house in New York for insecurities in the country.

Thank you jor. They have no sense of history or too young to comprehend.

You cannot be a politician in Nigeria unless you're a confirmed and celebrated looter, thug, bandit or Armed Robber as in Military or Police.

Are you surprised that Activists, no matter where they come from are called and labelled opportunists by the same Vagabond in Power?

I wonder when your skull will receive Gods' blessings. What do i have to do with your terrorist minister installed by the terrorist in chief who happen to be your personal lord and saviour. Your other half dead brain fellow.

Actually, you can be a politician in Nigeria without "being a confirmed and celebrated looter, thug, bandit or Armed Robber as in Military or Police". The problem you might face is the people might not elect you because you do not pay them to, and would rather elect someone who does pay them without realising that after being elected the person who paid them will loot to get a return on their investment. What is amusing is that when the person who paid them loots to get a return on the investment of paying them they will now moan that the person they elected is a looter, lol, as if the payment they received was not Abu's money being used to entertain their Abus.

We soon learn when our self inflicted suffer reach, I promise.
